Reaching out the right hand of fellowship to my sisters and brothers in Christ. It's so easy "to feel alone in a room crowded with people." The truth is you are not alone, whatever point you are in your walk with Christ, we're on a journey, one that will have us transforming every day of our lives - until we are with Him. We're many members but one in the body of Christ - it helps to share our experiences along the way.

Hello!~~~

Welcome!~

It has now been seven years since I started this blog. How quickly time goes by! We are many members but we are one in the body of Christ. Therefore you do not journey alone! Hopefully through this site you will be encouraged by the fact that many things you are going through in your own walk, others are going through (or have gone through) as well. Sometimes we think we are "going through things alone." But we are not. God said that "He would Never Leave Nor Forsake Us." (Hebrews 13:5) and that "There is Nothing New Under The Sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9). No man is an island. It's easy to forget that. May the words in this blog help you to think, encourage you in whatever spiritual state you are in and may the Lord use them to help us to grow in Him! He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!

I don’t want any readers to think that I am “promoting” being a prodigal. I definitely am not. But what I am hoping to do – is to encourage those of us who either have had or are currently experiencing a hard time in our walk to be honest about it. Personal conviction is a powerful thing, especially if you truly love the Lord. I think that sometimes the Body of Christ critiques and judges to the point where the person who is at the other end of that pointing finger feels ostracized, alienated and alone. I don't think that that is what Jesus intended. When I read through my Bible - I see a firm yet gentle restoration that Jesus ministered to those around Him. Look at John 21:15-19. When Peter who was at an all time low point in his walk - he was firmly, yet lovingly restored by Jesus. He didn't tear him down, or yell or make him feel any worse then he already did. He spoke to him lovingly and gently - and in doing so, Peter was able to repent and minister in a much more powerful, humble and confident way and it became one of the largest ministries ever.

Please note that I am only a vessel, my calling - to write. I dedicate this blog to the Lord and ask that He use it to reach out and touch whoever needs a special, loving, personal touch from Him. My hope is that the Holy Spirit allows you to see Him through the words (and not me). We go through things so that we can extend our right hand of fellowship behind us to assist and help someone else. Our Bible is the same today, as it was yesterday as it will be tomorrow. (I am far from perfect and do not profess to have all the answers...) but the good news is - Our Heavenly Father does! His love, forgiveness, grace and mercy is real!Nothing you are experiencing in your walk comes as a surprise to Him! May He be glorified through this blog and may God bless you at whatever stage in your walk you are in!~

I am a Breast Cancer Survivor

I was diagnosed with early stage triple negative breast cancer on June 24th, 2010 - I have been cancer free for 7 years now. It was only a chapter in my life - NOT my life, but the impact is one that has changed my life forever. Its important for women to know that 80% of the breast cancer diagnosis come from women who don't have a history of it in their family (My family didn't). Early detection is the key.

Just a "little" Note

It's late... And I'm wide awake... And my mind keeps going and going and going... I've been thinking (which is always dangerous)... That our lives are like songs... They begin when we are born - one note and swell and grow as we move through this song called "Life." People come into our lives - like other notes, causing friction, making sweet harmony... The song becomes more vibrant. The notes "dance" around each other. Some high, some low. Sometimes the music crescendos - going faster and faster and faster and sometimes the melody is sloooooow and almost lazy. There is a beginning, middle and end... What is the song of your life? What is your passion? What is your pain? What do YOU want for you? What gifts do you have? What are you doing with your life? If your life was "this song" what kind would it be? And do you even "like" the song your life is making? If not - what are you doing about it? What song has God given you? And are you listening to the song of your life closely??? Do you think about who else may be listening to it? Will the notes "linger" when the song is over? Will your song be remembered? Will the Conductor of your life applaud you for your efforts? Have you let Him conduct it? Or is your song all over the place? Making you and those around you dizzy? Or is the Conductor running to you to take you in His arms and say, "Oh my child, this is the song I had for you and THIS is what you settled for...

What is your life song? There is still time for you to change it.... Sit quiet for a while, and look deep inside your heart. It's there.... You may just have to listen closely.... You have a song. And the beauty of it is there is no song like the one You have been given, it was meant to share with others - not to keep tucked quietly away. Share it... Because you may never know how many "someones" need to hear it. A song is always best shared...

About Me

Hi - I'm Kelly, my friends call me Casey. I became a Christian 29 years ago during a Campus Crusade for Christ which took place at the university I was attending while studying Theatre Arts. It was then that I made Jesus Christ my personal Lord and Savior. I had no idea how much that course of action would alter my life - but He has. I found out He had not called me to act, but to write. My prayer is that the words of this blog will encourage you in whatever point you are on your journey. God TRULY loves you and if you allow Him to - He'll show you how real and true He is. I know because that is what He did with ME. If you ask Him to make Himself real to you, He will. I pray God blesses and keeps you now and always. Please feel free to join my blog as a member or to leave comments or email me if you have any prayer requests or questions! We are many members but one in the body of Christ! Taste and see that the Lord is good - because He TRULY is! God bless you!
